Avid Bearing Zip Hoodie – Green

Avid Bearing Zip Hoodie – Green

Stay warm, comfortable, and concealed on the bank with the Avid Bearing Zip Hoodie in Green. Engineered with a full-zip design for maximum versatility, this premium layer is perfect for handling those chilly early mornings, late evenings, and sudden temperature drops by the water. It combines a low-profile, clean front aesthetic with a bold, high-quality Avid ‘Bearing’ graphic printed across the back.

Constructed from heavy-duty 320 gsm French terry cotton, this hoodie offers a thick, premium feel that provides excellent insulation while remaining highly breathable. The full-length front opening is fitted with a rugged, heavy-duty auto-lock zip, allowing you to quickly dump heat during high-activity tasks like barrowing gear or casting, or zip up tight when the wind picks up.

Finished in a classic carpy olive green, it blends perfectly into any bankside environment. Complete with a generous hood, sturdy drawcords, and deep hand pockets, it represents the ultimate combination of rugged durability and active comfort for the modern specimen angler.

Key Features & Use Cases

Technical Specifications

Pro Tip: The auto-lock zip on this hoodie is a game-changer when wearing a chest-mounted bite alarm receiver or switching between active work and sitting still. You can leave the hoodie zipped halfway down to vent heat while walking the lake, and the slider will lock firmly in place, preventing the weight of your movement from pulling the hoodie fully open.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the auto-lock zipper work?

Unlike standard zippers that can slide down when you move, bend, or sit, the auto-lock zipper features an internal locking mechanism. As soon as you let go of the pull tab and lay it flat, the zipper locks securely into position on the teeth and will not budge until you lift the tab to move it again.

Will this hoodie shrink if washed frequently?

Because this garment is crafted from high-grade 100% heavy cotton, we highly recommend washing it inside out on a cool 30°C cycle and letting it dry naturally. Avoid high-heat tumble dryers to preserve the 320 gsm fabric structure and protect the rear print.

Is the fit loose enough to wear a t-shirt underneath?

Yes, it is tailored with a standard, relaxed angler’s fit. There is plenty of room to comfortably layer it over the Avid Bearing T-Shirt without restricting your arm or shoulder movement during a heavy cast.
